Great location
Can't fault the location right across from the ocean in a quiet street. Not far from Beach no.4 which we visited multiple times. Unfortunately there are known issues with housekeeping & property management but will hopefully be sorted out. Wet laundry, dirty sheets, old rough towels, un mopped floors & couldn't use the BBQ.

Great stay!
Our family loved staying at this property. The location is amazing and the house was very comfortable. We loved the mid century feel! Only whinge is that the bbq was not usable, the tyres on the bikes were flat and the pool table fitted into a small box. Having said that we would stay again hopefully they will replace the grill on the bbq

Great place
Had everything we needed. Only negative was the beach nearby didn’t allow dogs (even on leads) but that’s nothing to do with the house. Loved toasting marshmellows on the fire pit.

Better than imagined
The sound of the beach & view over the tea trees along with the sky from the balcony was breath taking. Loved the vintage, zen retreat vibe. Lots to do at the house and close to the house.

Peace and tranquillity in a 70s time capsule
Look out over pristine tea tree covered sand dunes hiding a 27km long surf beach on the other side. A peaceful 70s time capsule in a quiet bird filled street. Perfect.

We stayed at Michael’s in mid august, and although the weather wasn’t our best friend we had so much fun! Every corner of the place is a surprise - in a good way.

Secluded relaxation :)
Michael's place was a wonderful place to stay. Relaxing space with beautiful eclectic decor - great time away where everything was though out to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Wonderful way to spend a weekend - secluded beach walks and a balcony overlooking nature. Recommended!

Serenity & Nostalgia
We had beautiful few days with our kids (9 & 11) in Venus bay. Michael was easy to communicate with and the house was equipped with everything we might need. The location was the best , walking distance to #4 beach which is stunning! The house is filled with collectables and retro memorabilia which gave me big time flashbacks :) We hope to stay again sometime.
